RIP JJ Cale

Another musical legend has passed. Died last night after a heart attack: "People like Cale, Young, Clapton and Cash have known something the rest of us don't. They're tapped into the cosmos and have found that universal switch inside our beings, turning us on, creating the soundtrack to our lives." More on his music and legacy here.



The album "Naturally" blew my young mind back in the 70s, then Cale's music just kept popping up in my life. His recent collaborations with Clapton are the stuff of legend, IMHO.

Definitely one of the great blues guitarists of the last 40+ years.  RIP JJ.

I went through a huge JJ Cale stage about 25 years ago.  I wonder whatever happened to all those cassettes. 

Was kind of stoked to see this thread on here. Hadn't ventured into this part of the forum before and this thread instantly popped out at me.

Legend for sure

Need more Cale? Here is an amazing session with Leon Russell: It is over an hour long so you might want to watch/listen while making dinner:
